Gunners boss has lined up Feyenoord right-back Daryl Janmaat as a replacement for the wantaway Frenchman

Bacary Sagna is set to be the next big name departure from Arsenal this summer.

Sagna, 30, a major injury doubt to face Aston Villa, is believed to be navigating his exit route with Arsene Wenger making a right back one of his priorities in his rebuilding plans.

The Gunners are eyeing Feyenoord’s Dutch right-back Daryl Janmaat, 23, as a potential replacement as his scouts are on alert to find a new first choice.

Janmaat, who has won three Dutch caps, joined from Heerenveen last summer and has been watched by Arsenal who already have a partnership with Feyenoord which has seen them loan players and work together.

France right back Sagna, whose contract expires in 2014, is looking at options which include Paris Saint Germain, Inter Milan and interest from the Middle East.

Sagna has been one of the top right backs in the Premier League since arriving but two broken legs in a year has taken a toll. He picked up an injury against Bayern Munich and Carl Jenkinson is likely to deputise tomorrow.

Gunners boss Wenger even admitted that Sagna has had to play through the pain barrier and says he is still on his way back.

Wenger said recently: “I am convinced that he will play at centre-back more often at some stage - although not yet, because he is only just 30 and certainly has three or four years left at right-back.

“He has criticised his own form recently but the things you never question from Bac are his commitment, his mental attitude, his desire to win and his intelligence.

“If he has not been playing as he would expect, it is down to his injury. It takes time to come back, and he has played through a lot of pain - in fact, he is one of the strongest players I have met when it comes to doing that.

“He’s hugely respected here, and if he’s not at the level we know he can achieve then we are tolerant because we know it’s not down to a lack of commitment - it’s just because he has come back from a long-term injury.”
